From February 1-28, 4-Hers across Missouri will engage in a friendly service competition to see which clubs can contribute the greatest amount of food, donations and volunteer hours. They ll have an opportunity to organize and/or participate in food drives, fundraising, volunteerism and educational outreach to learn about hunger and food insecurity. Stay tuned for more information! In the meantime, please consider including educational opportunities about hunger and food insecurity during club meetings and other events leading up to the February drive. Included on the 4-H Feeding Missouri webpage is a resource section that features a 4-H: Empowering Youth to End Hunger in Their Communities Toolkit with ready-made activities for youth to learn about this topic. You can draw from this resource to help youth learn about hunger and food insecurity. New Award Resources Teresa Bishop How-to videos for State Excellence Forms Levels 1, 2 and 3 are now available on the 4-H Website.
